pet Courier to & from the UK

Fully DEFRA type 2 licensed vehicles and top quality service to courier your pet in comfort to & from the UK, across the UK and most of Western Europe

Many companies use the term Pet Courier for the transport of pets throughout the UK and Europe on behalf of breeders, rescues or owners.

We feel a better description is luxury pet transport, pet chauffeur or pet travel. This is because we believe we are transporting a member of your family, not just delivering your pet like an item you would order from a catalogue.

However, we do provide pet courier services in the sense that we do work with many reputable breeders, rescues and owners to provide fully DEFRA type 2 licensed vehicles and top quality service to transport pets, such as dogs, cats and other small animals.

With a fleet of top class modern air conditioned vehicles to suit every size and distance requirement and with experience drivers we can provide more than a pet courier service to & from the UK; we can provide luxury safe pet transport to your pets and with our pet and owner service to you as well.

Customer Reviews

Tanya Hockner (18th April 2017)"My cats were so nervous I dreaded the thought of them on a plane but with C Four Paws Pet Transport they picked up and transported door to door in a fabulously equipped vehicle and they arrived in Germany as relaxed as they left Sheffield"

diana clough (12th August 2017)"Thank you Chris Cave ,the driver,who went above and beyond to get 4 elderly and vulnerable dogs from Puglia in Italy to the UK. He did this in record time and they are all happily settling into their new home. I am so grateful to him. He did a brilliant job."

David Foster-Williams (18th April 2017)"C Four Paws picked up our cats and our elderly dog the day before the removal guys arrived and took them to their boarding kennels and cattery. We had gone to look at the premises to view the kennels and cattery before we booked and were absolutely thrilled at the accommodation and the team were so happy and helpful. They then looked after them until a week later when we moved into our new house in Provence where they arrived looking fit and well. Can’t thank the team enough"

Heather McAdam (17th February 2018)"Truly brilliant. My 86 year-old Mother-in-law was moving from the South of England to Scotland. Her two, also elderly, Tonkinese sisters were marvelled up to Scotland by John arriving only a few hours later than Hazel. One worry completely removed during a very stressful period. Unfortunately Tosca and Lara, the cats, can't tell us about the trip, but they arrived in full curiosity mode, with no apparent side affects. Heather McAadm"
